Hills Distribution Expands Into New Markets With Two Partner Companies
ATLANTA, Georgia — Hills Distribution, owner of premier wholesale distribution companies of HVAC and plumbing equipment and supplies, has partnered with two additional high quality distributors serving New York, Vermont, Western Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Family-owned Coastal Supply Group, headquartered in Staten Island, NY, was founded in 1972 to provide plumbing supplies and expertise to the local market. It added kitchen and bath showrooms, and subsequently included HVAC inventory and services to meet the growing needs of its customers. Coastal’s reputation for high quality products and strong customer service at competitive prices led the company to expand its physical presence serving New York and New Jersey with multiple branches. For decades, the business has been run by Alex Federico and John Federico, who remain in their roles and have reinvested equity into Hills Distribution.
Third generation-owned RJ Murray Company, founded in 1922, in Schenectady, NY and now headquartered in Latham, NY, was one of the first Carrier distributors, starting in 1933, offering heating and air conditioning equipment throughout the northeast. The company supports more than 500 dealers, contractors, government and industrial accounts from facilities in Latham, NY and Burlington, VT. Bob Murray has been running RJ Murray for over 30 years and remains in the role of President and reinvested equity into Hills Distribution.
“Hills Distribution is thrilled to welcome Coastal Supply Group and RJ Murray Company to our platform of customer and employee-focused wholesale distributors” said Ron LaBusch, President and CEO of Hills Distribution.
“We looked long and hard for a company which could help us continue our decades of growth and which would bring additional resources to foster that growth. Hills Distribution has demonstrated their appreciation for what we’ve grown so far and a deep understanding about our go-forward plans,” said Alex Federico, President of Coastal Supply Group.
